VB - Instant Message Client/Server

[k1ll3rdr4g0n]

I've been busy working an instant messanger client/server. It currently has these features:

- Minimize to taskbar
- Change password remotly
- Bold text
- Picture smilies
- User info
- Auto scroll in IM
- IM notifacation
- Ability to check to see if someone is online/offline
- Add/remove buddys on buddy list
- Fixed that stupid options bug
- Added registration (only 1 per IP)
- Auto update
- Version Page

I've spend more than 25+ hours on this, I'm calling it NewAge or RSIMP (Real Simple Instant Messanger Protocol)

With this you can do basic messaging to other people on the same server.
Ok lets see if VBforums will let me attach.....
It did ^^
Let me know what you think .
Post if theres any files missing... even though there shouldn't be....

wow dude, you should put MSN out of business!

[k1ll3rdr4g0n]

Nah, MSN is still better (and a bigger community). But, I am working on a paper on how this works if anyone is intrested. I'm even thinking of making one for LAN's. And one like xfire. Glad people are intrested .

How many users can the server handle?

[joscpe]

ummmm.... you didnt make the exe so i am trying to make it into an exe and it gives me an error

and highlights blist(i) =

[SAGremlin]

Just had a look at it ... Blist(i) = should be Blst(i) = ...

This is actualy a mediocar proggy, But also the newage style of doing Chat's and IM's is Serverless..

k1ll3rdr4g0n : if you want some help to clean it up a little let me know.. But i do like how you handle the smilies...

Gremmy....

[k1ll3rdr4g0n]

How many users can the server handle?

As many as your server and internet connection can handle. A rough guess would be about 50 - 100 active members.

Intergrate this with your Pictochat, make a small area that is maximisible in the corner, i would do it myself, but im too lazy right this moment.

k1ll3rdr4g0n,
Great idea for a program! I downloaded both zip files, and tried to open them using vb 2010 express edition. I cant find the Project file... How do i make it an .exe?

You can't open that with vb2010 correctly! You need vb6.0 in-order to correctly open and read the code and convert it to an *.exe file. If you want I will compile the .exe for you then send it to you?

Edit:

Also, it is a bad idea to post your email address since bots scan the forums and could get a hold of your email address.

Paskeezy: Welcome to the forums.

I have edited your post and removed your email address.

You should never post your email address in an open post on an open forum. Mail spam bots can pick that up and before you know it, your mailbox is full of junk mail. If you wish to share your email address with other forum members, please do so via our PM system.

But even more importantly than that, we prefer all answers to questions be publically posted rather than sent via EMail or PM. That way, everyone with a similar problem can benefit.

Thanks.

Nightwalker83 - sure thing, that sounds good!

Hack - sorry about the email address. Thanks for the notification.

[Paskeezy]

Nightwalker83 - i forgot to add that id like the exe for both client and the server version of the program if possible.
Thank You

@ k1ll3rdr4g0n

While compliling your code I encountered the following problems:

In NewAge_client:

Sub or Function not defined

Referring to blist(i) =

in frmbl

As well as references in both projects referring to ocx or dll files that failed to load.

Thank You
Paskeezy

Sure! I will pm you with the download link when I have complied the programs.

[Slyke]

Any chance you will convert this to .NET?

I'm very interested in this, and totally forgot all about it from all those years ago! Wow, it's been 4 years already!?

[Paskeezy]

@ k1ll3rdr4g0n - thanks for the program, i cant quite get it to work, is there any chance you can send me the source code? I can create the forms myself. Thanks!
